China tour dates just announced – on the Shows page – starting April 29 at Dalian Hertz Bar LN.

We spent last night at a hotel in Virginia. It’s about an hour from check out now. Drove all day yesterday from South Carolina. We’re about 4 hours from NYC, for tomorrow night’s show at Arlene’s Grocery.

The weather’s been great for driving the past couple of days. This morning it’s cold and wet out there, more like the northern weather we’re used to here.

Shot above – bleary eyed at Waffle House, somewhere in South Carolina yesterday morning.

We’re planning to stay at a hotel in Jersey City tonight, near Hoboken just across the Hudson River from Manhattan. Should make for a reasonably easy trip onto the Island for tomorrow night’s show (Wed). Owen Pye joins us on stage at Arlene’s. Owen toured with us through the US last year & he’ll be guest-bassing during the set.

The Arlene’s show will be streamed live on the web – http://www.livestream.com/arlenesgrocery from 7pm New York time. (9am Thursday – Australia east coast, approx 5am in Europe & 7am in Beijing)

Checkya tomorrow.
Fires out.
